(a) When the city manager shall be out of the city for more than forty-eight (48) hours (not including Saturday, Sunday and holidays), he shall inform the city commission of his proposed absence and will indicate to the city commission who will be administratively in charge of the city for routine matters. This action shall not constitute the appointment of an acting city manager.
(b) When, due to length of absence from the city or illness, and inability to be in reasonable contact by telephone, the city manager is unable to carry out administrative duties and responsibilities in a reasonable time, the city manager, with city commission approval, shall designate an acting city manager to temporarily carry out the necessary duties of the city manager.
